By one commissioner’s count, the Santa Monica Planning Commission has only considered three development agreements (DAs) this year. When commissioners met March 20, they considered their first DA in “weeks.” As if seeking to establish a trend of slowing down the DA approval process, commissioners last week took a time out from deliberating a mixed-use development at 1318 Second Street, tabling the remainder of their discussion until April 3.

Commissioners had already spent about two hours considering the latest proposed development for downtown Santa Monica.

Under the currently proposed DA, the developer is pitching a four-story building with 53 units, including 28 studios, 19 one-bedrooms, and six two-bedrooms.

The project would be 15,000 square feet with a two-level, 66-space subterranean garage. The structure would be 45 feet high and include 6,717 square feet of ground floor commercial space, according to City staff.
